I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how my heart seems a little … disengaged. Oh, it hangs in there, it does the needful, cares for people, listens deeply, and once in a while sends me a message about some Coming Attractions, and yet … I have been feeling numb for … a while. Like […]
Welcome to Shadow Farms, where we use our crap to fertilize the crop. The Long Dark is upon us, and for some people, it’s a hard time of year to love. Not for me. I was born on a New Moon in the heart of Winter, double Sagittarius, me. I adore the dark. I don’t […]
I’ve tried to ignore it. Got myself good and distracted with so many projects, so much creativity, so many things. And I made it a record amount of time, I think, without actually doing anything about it. Oh, you know how it is when you’re in pain, if you stay busy it just … fades […]
We have the space-time field, morphogenic fields, magnetic fields … but I think we need to consider fielding one more … field … Mr. Rogers described love as a verb, like struggle. Love is active, to love, to be loved. Love isn’t some static thing just laying around until we need it. Love is something we do, and […]
None of us are getting any younger. And sometimes it sucks. Aches, pains, sensitivities, digestive discomforts, thin skin … Sometimes I don’t know how I make it out the door. But somehow I do. We’re getting older in a youth-obsessed world. It’s not young people who are doing it to us. No. It’s us. We hate […]
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about spoons. The “Spoons Theory” of autoimmune disease is brilliant. I hand you some spoons, which represent units of energy, and we talk through a typical day. Every action costs a spoon, because people with things like fibro and lupus and MS and so on, require a lot […]
No, I’m not saying felt is sentient (though I have seen some smart felt), nor am I saying that felting is a sensible thing to do (although it is pretty cool). Heartfelt thanks go out to my dear friend Lynn for putting these two words together in my ears. Felt. Sense. Felt sense. Here’s the […]
After over two years hiatus, I am getting back to an old routine, and I think it’s helping me more than I realize. I am a sporadic journal-writer. I am religious about it for a couple years, and then I just stop with no warning and don’t do it for months or even years at […]
So, what do we do now? If you read last week’s post, I introduced the idea that our brains have forgotten how to recharge our energy levels, whether we are introverts or extroverts (and I confirmed that with a couple extrovert friends over the weekend, they’re not getting the recharge, either), and talked about how […]
“Hello, Introvert Services, this is Liz, how can I help you?” ‘Hi Liz, I am having trouble initializing my Introvert Recharge and Recovery functions.” “Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that. Let me pull up your account and see what we can do for you. Is this phone number the one you’re registered under?” “Should […]
